If you’ve ever stayed with us, you’ll know that The Burrard’s inner courtyard is one of our grooviest features. We think it’s the best Vancouver hotel courtyard, resplendent with huge palm trees, a sunny deck, and plenty of corners to relax with a beer or get a little work done on the laptop. But now there’s even more to love about our courtyard!

We can tell you about how awesome The Burrard is until we’re blue in the face. Hopefully you’ll believe us when we say that we’re one of the best value downtown Vancouver hotels, but obviously, we’re a bit biased. But it’s not just us who are fans of free bike rentals, espresso machines in every room, and a glorious, glorious courtyard. Over the past couple of months, our media friends have also been singing our praises!

It’s hot, and all you want is to know where to find the best Vancouver ice cream. We’ve got the scoop, whether you’re looking for a traditional cone, soft serve sundaes, a bellisimo gelato, or even vegan options. Below is a list of our five favourite spots to cool down with the best Vancouver ice cream.

We’re not going to waste our breath trying to convince you to take part in the Lululemon SeaWheeze Half-Marathon. The thing sold-out almost as soon as registration went live, so either you’re already training like a sweaty maniac in preparation, or you missed the cut and you’re currently tuning us out. (Sorry – next year?)

This July is going to be HOT. If you’re looking for things to do in Vancouver, it’s the perfect time to spend some time outside, not just up on the mountains (although there’s nothing like swimming in a mountain stream) but also on our urban beaches and in Stanley Park. Here are our picks for your July Vancouver adventures.
